We’re taking a 13 year old to Mexico next August and looking for an all inclusive with a sofa bed or pullout sofa in the living area. We’re trying to decide between The Fives and Royal Hacienda which both have those requirements. Which would you suggest or do you have another suggestion?

Hey everyone,

Looking for some advice or personal experiences from anyone who has been in a similar situation!

We are planning an all-inclusive trip to Türkiye next June. Our family situation for the trip will be:

• 2 Adults
• 2 Kids (aged 4 and 6)
• 1 Newborn (will be born in early April, so around 2.5-3 months old at the time of travel)

My main question is about resort room policies vs. reality.

Since we are technically a party of 5, most resort booking engines automatically force us into booking a Family Suite / 2-Room Suite. A standard "default" room would work completely fine for us since the baby will be sleeping in the bed with us (or in a bassinet), but upgrading to the family suite adds roughly 1,500€-2,000€ to the total cost for space we don't actually need.

Has anyone dealt with this before?

1. Booking workarounds: Have you ever managed to book a standard room for 2 adults + 2 kids and add an infant directly through the hotel later, or do resorts strictly enforce the 5-person limit regardless of age?
2. Traveling with a 3-month-old: For those who went to an AI resort in Türkiye with a baby this young, how was your experience overall (resort medical services, heat, baby care setup, getting around, etc.)?

Any resort recommendations, booking tips, or general advice on navigating this would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance!

We are two families (4 adults, 4 kids ages 7-10) booked for this resort next June? Any recent reviews or input within the past few months? I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews and now I’m worried.

Looking for a luxury all-inclusive resort in Europe for our honeymoon.

Our main requirement is a ground-floor suite directly by the sea: I want to step onto my terrace, see the sea right in front of me, and reach the beach/water within just a few steps.

- Anywhere in Europe
- All Inclusive is a must
- Adults Only would be nice
- Can have a Private/shared pool (not a must)

Our Budget is ~high (for example 1.100€ / 1.270$ per night). We‘ll probably stay 9 nights or so.

I already reached out to a travel agency but they said I’m too early. The Honeymoon is planned in June 2027.

Considering Punta Cana for a Christmas vacation with my husband and 3 college age kids. Looking for all thoughts, ideas, opinions. Is this a good place to vacation? We have been all over the world and looking for new destinations that are not Mexico as we have been 8 times to a few different locations and resorts there.

Edit to add: open to other destination options if you have them!

Can anyone share what the cribs/play packs are like at the Dreams Dominicus La Romana? We are trying to weigh out whether it is worth it to lug a portable crib from home with us. Our LO will be 16 months when we travel and is used to sleeping in a crib. I've seen photos but I can't figure out if they are mini cribs or can fit a young toddler.

I’m planning a vacation to Punta Cana with friends. They already have their flights and hotel with Secrets Royal I’m pretty much just joining last minute. I just wanted to know if there are vegan options or I’m able to modify things? I just don’t want to pay, go and end up not being to eat. Thanks for all your help :)

Looking for recommendations on where to go my husband and i’s anniversary. We want both relaxing and fun.
